DATE: TUESDAY 22 FEBRUARY 2022


THEME: BENEFITS OF A LOCKDOWN 1


MEMORISE: 

For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.                   

Psalms 27:5 


READ: 1 Samuel 22:1-2

1 David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father's house heard it, they went down thither to him.

2 And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became a captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men.


MESSAGE

One lesson of benefit of a lockdown is the opportunity to develop one’s hidden potential.  The hustle and bustle of day-to-day human activities often rob us of the opportunity for meditation and spiritual growth.  Had it not been for the lockdown David suffered when he was running away from his sworn enemy King Saul, he would not have been able to develop his leadership potential and produce great warriors from the downtrodden, distressed and discontented young men of Israel that formed his first army.


And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became a captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men. 1 Samuel 22:2 


The result of David’s lockdown in the cave of Adullam is evident in the account of those people regarded as vagabonds, who became mighty men of valour in his army, as written in 2 Samuel 23. One of them – the son of Dodo, was described thus: (2 Samuel 23:9 -10).


A time of lockdown, whichever form it takes, should be spent in such a way as to bring the best out of us, David was not sitting to brood over his troubles when being pursued by King Saul. He used the period of his lockdown to develop his military acumen and raise an army of men who would eventually become his generals. Little wonder he had a standing army in contrast to the ad-hoc army of his predecessor.


Beloved, during your period of low estate, find out what God would want you to do, and it will surprise you that you will come out stronger to do exploits. In whatever situation you may find yourself, ask the Almighty God to open your eyes to lessons to be learnt and opportunities to be seized, just as Joseph did, rising from being a prisoner to become the Prime Minister (Genesis 40-41).

 

ACTION POINT

Learn obedience in any time of distress.

HYMN 28: When We Walk With The Lord


1 When we walk with the Lord 

in the light of his word, 

what a glory he sheds on our way! 

While we do his good will, 

he abides with us still, 

and with all who will trust and obey. 


Refrain:

Trust and obey, for there's no other way 

to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey. 


2 Not a burden we bear, 

not a sorrow we share, 

but our toil he doth richly repay; 

not a grief or a loss, 

not a frown or a cross, 

but is blest if we trust and obey. 


3 But we never can prove 

the delights of his love 

until all on the altar we lay; 

for the favor he shows, 

for the joy he bestows, 

are for them who will trust and obey. 


4 Then in fellowship sweet 

we will sit at his feet, 

or we'll walk by his side in the way; 

what he says we will do, 

where he sends we will go; 

never fear, only trust and obey.

DATE: MONDAY 21ST FEBRUARY 2022


THEME: POWER IN HIS WORD II


MEMORISE: 

The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. Matthew 8:8


READ: Isaiah 55:11-13

11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.


MESSAGE

To fully appreciate the potency of God’s word, we need to carefully review the descriptions given to it in the Holy Scriptures. In the Old Testament, the word of God is seen as a word about, as well as one from God. In effect, the word of God refers to what God says, and at the same time, it describes God – His essence and attributes. The New Testament presents the Word of God as a person – the second person of the Trinity, that is, Jesus Christ our Lord, who was with the Father from the beginning of creation. Colossians 1:16-18 presents the Word of God as follows:


For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning; the firstborn form the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.


This sacred capacity of the word of God to revive is based essentially on the fact that He is the creator of all things – both in heaven and earth. Since all things were created by His Word, the power to revive is also inherent in His word. God spoke all things into being by the power of His word. Hebrew 4:12 says “The word of God is quick and powerful, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit,, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” This means that the Word is able to examine and judge those who hear it, the Word of God does not fail, but always accomplished the set purpose. The word of God is in fact a weapon of warfare that is able to destroy material things such as “joints and marrow” as well as the immaterial such as the “soul and spirit. Indeed, the total person – spirit, soul and body, comes under the operation of the Word of God.


Beloved, what is that challenge or situation that appears impossible to resolve or overcome? The power in the Word of God can overcome it. Find what the word says about it and pray with that word in faith as the Holy Spirit directs. You will be victorious so long as you have genuinely surrendered you life to Jesus Christ.

 

PRAYER POINT

Father, please revive and restore me by the power in Your word, in Jesus name.

HYMN 12: My Faith Looks Up To Thee


1 My faith looks up to thee,

thou Lamb of Calvary,

Savior divine.

Now hear me while I pray;

take all my guilt away;

O let me from this day

be wholly thine!


2 May thy rich grace impart

strength to my fainting heart;

my zeal inspire!

As thou hast died for me,

oh, may my love to thee

pure, warm, and changeless be,

a living fire!


3 While life's dark maze I tread,

and griefs around me spread,

be thou my guide.

Bid darkness turn to day,

wipe sorrow's tears away,

nor let me ever stray

from thee aside.

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL


DATE: SUNDAY 20TH FEBRUARY 2022


THEME: POWER IN HIS WORD I


MEMORISE: 

 "And God said, Let there be light: and there was light." 

Genesis 1:3


READ:John 1: 1-3

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.


2 The same was in the beginning with God.


3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.


MESSAGE

The Bible is full of scripture to support the power in the word. Light came into existence through the power of God's spoken word.(Genesis 1:3), also, the entire universe was made by the word of God.


Our God is the creator of heaven and earth, the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, the one who knows all things and specializes in bringing to pass the impossible. All power in heaven and on earth belongs to Him-that is why He is called the Almighty God. While it is impossible for anyone to fully understand the might and majesty of God, a better understanding of His creative power, wisdom, and authority could be made visible by considering the works of His hands, according to Psalm 8:3-4.


Considering the Almightiness of God therefore, whenever He says 'yes', one cannot help but wonder why anybody would want to oppose Him. Since the fall of man, mankind has been found in opposition to the Almighty God, to their own detriment. Humanity is used to striving with God from the very beginning. Striving with God is the fruitless opposition of the ungodly to the will of God. It is also the struggle of the righteous with God's commandments as they seek to obey it. However, the striving of the wicked with God is usually the result of a guilty conscience. To this end,  Genesis 4:9 says, "And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?" Many Christian today are equally striving with God by holding a view that is contrary to the word of God.


Anybody striving against God can never succeed. God says in 

Isaiah 46: 10. "........My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:"  Also, Proverbs 19:21 says, "There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD that shall stand." Do not resist the Holy Spirit and be found arguing with God. Don't ever try to attack God's people or practice unbelief, lest you be found guilty of striving with God. The creative power of our sovereign God is as potent as ever, and our God still rules the affairs of the universe today. He is the ultimate controller of everything in heaven, on earth and under the earth. 


Forever, His word is settled in heaven (Psalm 119:89) 


PRAYER POINT

Father, please have Your way in my life, and the world in general in Jesus name.

1 Jesus, my Lord, my God, my all,

hear me, blest Savior, when I call;

hear me, and from thy dwelling place

pour down the riches of thy grace.


Refrain:

Jesus, my Lord, I thee adore;

O make me love thee more and more.


2 Jesus, too late I thee have sought;

how can I love thee as I ought?

And how extol thy matchless fame,

the glorious beauty of thy name? 


3 Jesus, what didst thou find in me

that thou hast dealt so lovingly?

How great the joy that thou hast brought,

so far exceeding hope or thought! 


4 Jesus, of thee shall be my song;

to thee my heart and soul belong;

all that I have or am is thine,

and thou, blest Savior, thou art mine.

THEME: YOU CAN MOVE THAT MOUNTAIN II


MEMORISE: 

And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. 

Mark 11:25 


READ: Mark 11:22-26

22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.


23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.


24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.


25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.


26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.


MESSAGE

Mountains, either physical or spiritual, are stubborn and difficult obstacles to overcome. To move physical mountains, one would require various forms of complex and expensive equipment. To move spiritual mountains however, Jesus Christ taught us to pray them out of our paths. The primary ingredient required for this kind of prayer is faith, but some other elements have been identified to also act as either hindrances or aids for our prayers to produce the expected results. Two of these critical elements are unforgiveness and forgiveness.


Unforgiveness is a major hindrance to mountain-moving prayers, while forgiveness is a powerful aid in moving mountains. It is God’s will for us to forgive everyone who may have offended us in one way or another – no matter how hurt we may be.  


Unforgiveness hence is disobedience to God, and we know that every disobedience to God is a sin. Unforgiveness in itself is a sin and a mountain that also impedes the progress of its host.  To command a mountain to move off your path, you must ensure you are not harbouring the mountain of unforgiveness in your life.


When the burden of the sin of unforgiveness has been removed from us, we are able to pray with confidence, lifting holy hands in prayers to God with a clear conscience and faith for answered prayers.  This is why Mark 11:24 says “Therefore I say unto you, what things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them”.


Moving mountains is one of the most challenging problems of faith in Christendom because mountains are usually large objects that all eyes can see. Sometimes, as you open your eyes after prayers, you would immediately see that the mountain has refused to move, thereby causing you to doubt. However, the solution is the above verse: when you pray, believe that you have received your answer and leave the rest to God. Don’t forget that you are not the miracle worker; your role is to pray with confidence in the Almighty God who has the power to answer prayers.


I join my faith with yours today and command every mountain in your path to move in Jesus’ name.


PRAYER POINT

Father,please completely destroy unforgiveness in my life, in Jesus name.
